Ranithma Liyanage, who has shown the potential to change the history of Sri Lankan women’s badminton, has broken her silence for a short time and is back in action. It was in England where she emerged as the female star of the Yonex All England Junior Badminton Championships in the under-19 age group.
With this victory, Ranithma was able to add meaning to the sponsorship of Ranithma, which is one of the most valuable gifts received from the McLarens Group to Sri Lankan badminton. Currently ranked 109th in the international rankings, Ranithma’s hopes for the upcoming Olympics are shining brightly as the excellence of the McLarens sponsorship has been strengthened by adding more victorious hands.
Currently, her coaching duties are entrusted to two other strong badminton players that Sri Lanka has produced, Diluka Karunaratne and Dinuka Karunaratne. She is also supported by another nationally distinguished player, Sachin Dias. They are players who have brought honor to Sri Lanka through international victories while representing the nation. It should be recalled that Ranithma, who is training with the OSTRELEY Badminton Academy based in London, is managed by Niluka Karunaratne, who is currently considered the greatest badminton player that Sri Lanka has produced to date.
Accordingly, it is important that McLarens has prepared Ranithma for her future by doing everything possible to prepare her. Accordingly, under the supervision of the Osterley Academy, Ranithma is currently receiving all the facilities such as accommodation, food, and drinks, the warmth of the South’s friendliness, and the reliable relationship and friendship that has been created under the London sky. Taking as an example the fighting spirit of the Karunaratnes, who do not give up easily on their goals, and the sponsorship of McLarens, which has a vision to generously provide the necessary international facilities to reach their goals and to realize their dreams of success with a plan, Ranithma is standing tall with the sponsorship of McLarens, which has a vision to guide her to achieve her dreams of success with a plan. Winning the England Junior Championship can be considered as her first victory.
Ranithma displayed a mature style of play in all five matches of this tournament, from the round of 64 to her final defeat of England’s Ahana Bhatia. The scoreline for defeating Bhatia was 21-11 and 21-7. She finished the semi-final by defeating Ireland’s Michelle Shochhan 21-15 and 21-10. She exited the quarter-finals by defeating England’s Rajiv Prabha 21-7 and 21-12.
Ranithma, who completed this triumphant feat on August 3rd, will return to Sri Lanka on August 4th to compete in the Sri Lankan-organized International Junior Championship, which begins on the 5th in Naiwala. It will be a moment that will raise hopes of another victory for the country, at a time when a group of greats have come together.
